As a matter of fact, Mr. Winn is a strict dis- ciplinarian, A movement is on Ex-Congressman English was asked this week how it was that Oakland had not re- ceived more from the hands of Congress than it has done the last twenty years. He said that there was some mysterious power ut Washington operating against Oakland. “Just when we seemed to be at the point of obtaining a handsome appro- priation for a postoffice building the hid- den power would work and we would find ourselves powerless,” said Mr. English, Congressman Hilborn is determined to lay the hoodoo that uses its influence against this city at the Nation’s capital and left here Friday with tba’ intention. That Mr. English’s position is well taken is borne out by Mr. Hilborn’s partin, words: “There are 124 cities in the Unite States with a population of 25,000 and up- ward. Oakland stands sixtieth in the list. Almost every city in the United States with a population no greater than that of Oakland has a public building, and more than half the cities on the list with a popu- lation less than Oakland, down and in- cluding cities of 25,000 inhabitants, have public buildings, Sermon on “The Bicycle.”” cle.”” The sermon was not in any ional, as was expected, but was opinion of a practical rider on Tits of moderate indulgence in the The speaker referred to the in- g use of the bicycle by female simply ti the me | of his Daisy | cently received letters patent. 3 Many of these | will doubtless be laid bare | Their names have been | e, by his polit- | al in Oakland the whole city isen- | s not place | means of inducin, levity or i Dr. Kummer is ang s Jminodesty, enthusiastic wheelman an element of good health.

University Boys Seriously Considering a Socialistic Plan to Save Expenses. BERKELEY, Nov.3.—At last the faculty of the Umwversity of California, through the assistance of the committee appointed from the student body to investigate the book-stealing which has been going on ex- tensively for the past year, have suspended J. E. Johnston until Jan. 1, 1§ He is a member of the class of '96 and prominent & in athletic circles, being at the present | time captain of the university baseball team. It was learned that the suspended man had taken a certain book from the library several times, and that bis story in rela- tion to it could not be believed. Upon questioning him he admitted that he had taken the volume several times, but at each instance had notitied the librarian of | the fact. Uvon examination of the records :t was found that he had reported to Librarian Rowell of his withdrawal of the book orly once. i A number of library béoks were found in his locker during vacation. He main- tained, however, that when he left for home no books were in his locker, and that they must bave been put there by some designing person with the intention of bringing him to disgrace.

The invieible was more commanding than the yis- 1ble. He was the apostle of the unseen, and his poetry clothed the more delicate thought of Paul with the royal robes of imagery. S oty “THE .EOLY CITY.” A Beautiful Song Service Held at Grace Episcopal Church. Alfred Gaul's beautiful cantata, “The Holy City,"” was sung at the third monthly service of Grace Episcopal Church last night. The usual respouses, credo and collects were read, and the rest of the ser- vice was made in song The first part of the cantata is suggested by the scriptaral passage. “Here have we no continuing city.” Then follows a solo, beautifully rendered by Frank Coffin, the tenor, My Soul Is Athirst for God.”” The choruses and the bass solo, “Eye Hath Not Seen,” were most eflective. After the offertory came the second part suggested by the text from 1d [ saw anew heaven and a new eart| There are in this part sev- eral bass solos made up entirely of serip- tural selections, which were sung with much feeling by Homer Henley. The second tenor was Ed Crandall. The choir was made up of: Tenors—Ira B, Laad, A. J. Purnell, Peter Lamar, Will Elliot, W liam Simmington and L. bassos—Daniel Warde, William McDonald and Hugh Williamson. ] W. H. Holt acted as organis The sacred cantata, ‘‘Harvest Tide,” by Hugh Blair, will be given at this church on the first Sunday in December. The choir singers will wear cassocks and be placed in the chancel, as in the English cathedrals. A4 OLD SUGAR REFINERY, evelations, ‘A {Is Now Being Torn Down for the Material Contained in It. Built Thirty-Five Years Ago—It Was Spreckels’ First Venture. On Bighth street, near Harrison, stands the skeleton of probably the first sugar refinery built on this coast. Its many windows, that once reflected by day scenes of busy activity and by night sent their vellow light clear down to the water front, | are now filled with shadows. The old building has stood idle for the past twenty years, and is now being torn down for the bricks and lumber that are in it. Ina few days another ancient land- mark will have passed away.

The rumor has been afloat in college circles for the past few days that the Thanksgiving football game with Stanford will not be a Thanksgiving game after all, | but that the contest will take place on the Saturday afternoon following the festive holiday. It is claimed by some that by reason of the games in previons years being held on Thanksgiving day, their customary feasts and quietude were broken into, but simply through interest in the | game and loyalty to the colleges they re- | luctantly left their dinner parties. 1t has been further urged as an argument in favor | of postponement that certain Bastern in- | stitutions prominent in the football world have established the precedent. Some of those who are opposed to the innovation say that if the game isnot played on Thanksgiving day the junior- | day exercises, which are ordinarily held |on the following Saturday, will neces- sarily have to be postponed for a week. This will cause more or less dissatisfac- tion on account of the many friends of the studeuts living in distant places who cus- tomarily come to Berkeley to attend the game and junior-day amusements, which are commonly considered second only to commencement and class day exercises, No definite information could be gained from the management asto whether the rumor will prove to be a reality, but it is understood that the question will soon be decided once for all since so much is in- volved. Presbyterian Church Building. The Presbyterian church building, now in process of eonstruction at the corner of Ellsworth street and Allston way, is rap- idly nearing completion. he frame is entirely up and a consider- able portion of the siding put on. Until its dedication, which will be about two months hence, services will continue to be held in the old structure. B e —— Father Scanlan Not Badly Injured.

She has been cured of many indi- vidual ailments in the past,and if the Lord can cure one he can cure many.'’ Had the Home of Peace at Beulah not been abandoned for a training home for missionaries it is probable that Miss Smith would have been taken there for treatment, as Mrs. Montgomery had declared that the Faith Home was not necessary, as faith knows not distance. She declares that the sick can be treated as well at a distance as near by. On tnis point Rev. A. P, Truesdell takes issue with Mrs. Montgomery, and has de- clared from his pulpit that the lady is all wrong. He ridicules Mrs. Montgomery’s | g distihoa tiinyl Ax Taassion ey times to promulgate his doctrines. He de- clares that the faith-healers are all trust- ing in the devil, and that it is his mission to expose them. B “I am not out to make money,” he said, “and I want no g‘ny, and do not take up even a collection. Thousands of people in Oakland believe fully in the teachings of these Christian scientists and faith-healers, and now I have come to give them the light and show them where they err. The very idea of teaching people that a broken bone can be healed by faith is enough to show the power that Satan has in this work, Satan is getting a hold on Oakland people, and they must be guided.” Rev. Mr. Tmuficll is closely watching the case of Miss Smith, and will have some- thing to say about it at an early date. “WHOM JESUS LOVED.” ‘William Rader Discours the Apostle John. Rev. William Rader preached last even- ing at the Third Congregational Church on the subject, “Whom Jesus Loved,” meaning the apostle John. In part Rev. Rader said: In contemplating the poet-apostle we find the spiritusl origin of scripture. The Bible has a history, just as any other literature.

He platted out South Park, and built up that locality intersected by Stan- ley place, Second and Brannan streets. In the office of the refinery is a map of South Park, neatly drawn on two pine boards that were planed smooth and joined to- gether. A row_of paper squares pasted on the board show where houses were to be erected, The refinery continued under his man- agement for years, and afterward passed into the hands of Claus Spreckels, this being his first venture in sugar refining. Mr. }oreckels carried on an extensive busi- ness there, employing from 500 to 600 men. He abandoned it about twenty years ago, and built the present thirteen-story re- finery at the Potrero. It subsequently passed into the hands of Nicholas Luning, one of the largest land- owners of that time, and the firo Tty is stitll‘l;nown as belonging to the Luning estate, . EPISCOPAL DIOCESE. Rev. Mr. Spaulding of St. John’s Favors the Division. At St. John’s Episcopal Church on Fif- teenth street, between Mission and Valen- cia, the Rev. Mr. Lacy preached fram Rev- elations, vii:10. The speaker gave an in- teresting explanation of All Saints day and the condition of the departed soul, With its practical bearing upon tae daily life of the Christian. Rev. Mr. Spaulding, the rector, in an interview spoke of the division of the Cali- fornia diocese, which was ordered at the 1ecent National Episcopal convention at Minneapolis. He held that the California field undivided was too large and the division into urlnm diocese would facili- tate the work of so large a territory. The two dioceses of the State will probably be the diocese of Los Angeles and the diocese of San Francisco. The new Bishep of the southern field will be chosen from among the ministers of the State. ————— Slashed His Wife. There was trouble last evening in #he home of D. Corcoran of 8}5 Bowie avenue. Corcoran and his wife had quarreled during the after- noon and as evening approached thets was no prospect of & truce being declared.
